  SOVEREIGNCAST

SovereignCast Live is a new endeavor that seeks to gather experts on NNCTPR topics of interest. Each gathering plants the seed for deeper understanding—connecting Tribal leaders, community voices, and research through dialogue grounded in sovereignty, governance, and the futures we’re cultivating together. Recorded live and later shared as podcast episodes, the series carries these conversations forward to wider audiences.

Accompanied by our new SovereignCafé, these events invite participants to enjoy in-house crafted specialty coffee, pastries, and conversation in a relaxed setting that inspires thoughtful dialogue.
